Camp

Alright 2 blogs in a matter of minutes!?!? I know what you are thinking…”He’s crazy!!” I have just had a lot on my mind and staff training starts today at Merriwood Christian Camp and I’m very excited. If you have talked with me about camp you would know that I would not do anything else for any amount of money. I love camp, I hope to be the direcetor of a camp or someday start my own camp.

Last year the director, Jeff, stepped down because he felt he was called to another camp, he had been there for 17 years and he made Merriwood what it has become, awsome. And most of the staff felt the same way. This summer we have the highest percentage of returning staff, ever. I just want to ask for prayer for this group of young men and women. The thing is the guy who is doing his job this year isn’t Jeff, and the staff need to realize that when we are getting the program ready and with the way things are handled, I have complete confidence that this man will be able to take over and make this a great summer program. Just pray that people, (myself included) won’t be frustrated with each other and that our focus won’t shift from what it needs to be.

On a similar note, during the week of June 11th-15th we need male volunteers for day camp. All you do is pair up with a counselor and help him contain these rowdy but cute day campers. Lunch will be provided and I’m sure I could swing dinner also. The campers come around 9 am and leave right before dinner around 5pm. It’s only a 30-40 minute drive from greensboro, unless you live where Mike Reeve lives, then it will take about 1 hour.
